Thanks for replying. > My post did not propose any form of socialism. In fact, it didn't propose any solution at all. Looks like I read too much into your post I suppose and you're right that you didn't propose a solution. In that case I think I reacted to the idea I projected into your comment that the "solution" to the problem you're referencing was external resource allocation (rather than that determined by the market) - which is something I disagree with but maybe there's something there I should analyze about myself. > I don't see how your desires relate to the shortsightedness of the plan I never proposed. Again, you're correct here. It's obvious to me at this point that I was too emotionally involved in my interpretation of what you wrote. > Is that a base rate fallacy ... There was "screw you" content in there because I was projecting on to you something to resist and push against but I'm aware now of where my fault was. I'm intelligent enough to know that it is indeed a base rate fallacy so I have no excuse. Thanks for taking the time to reply and thank you, also, for your candor.
